The reason why snipers make infantry afraid is that on the one hand, their accurate marksmanship, and on the other hand, they generally do not discover the enemy, kill people in the dark, and give people a ubiquitous fear.
Vasily, a former Soviet super sniper recognized in history, once said: "The mission of a sniper on the battlefield is to discover but not be seen, and kill but not be killed."
How can we see without being discovered and kill without being killed? The key is that snipers must know how to choose a good sniper position and learn to disguise themselves. In other words, whether a sniper can complete tasks on the battlefield depends entirely on whether the sniper can fully utilize the skills of moving, hiding, observing and disguising in different environments. These are also important keys for whether snipers can survive when they are invincible.
Wu Jinsuo and his assistant had already observed the terrain and vegetation near the position. They quickly took materials on the spot, added weeds, dead leaves, etc. to their clothes and equipment, and took out a few pieces of charcoal from their pockets, took a small mirror, and smeared them on their faces.
Eyes grow on the head. Because of this, snipers always have to stretch their heads out from behind the covert to observe the surrounding situation from time to time during concealing operations, resulting in the head becoming the most easily noticeable part of the body. By disguising the head, the chance of being discovered can be greatly reduced.
"The exposed skin is very conspicuous. Even if you are very dark, it will be exposed due to the reflection of the secreted oil. The eye sockets, cochleas, eyebrows and under the nose should be painted with lighter colors. The protruding parts such as the tip of the nose, forehead, jaw and cheeks should be painted with darker colors, which is exactly the opposite of the highlights and shadows caused by light on the face. These techniques depend on whether you can survive on the battlefield..."
After advanced sniper training and rich practical experience, Wu Jinsuo is now a very top sniper in the New Seventh Army, and can almost memorize the makeup tricks in the textbooks.
As for equipment, it is not necessary to be the latest and best, the key is to be familiar with and mastery. Simon Haye, known as the "White God of Death", used a Mosinnagan rifle without a scope, creating a record that no one can break, and there were cases of killing the enemy from 700 meters away.
Wu Jinsuo had a deep understanding of this. He did not replace the gun. Although the gun was theoretically new and perhaps more accurate. But he could not do without the gun he used now, holding the gun, aiming, lightly snatching the board machine, and thousands of contacts. Wu Jinsuo could feel that the gun was becoming more and more closely connected with him. It was like a bloodline that penetrated the body of the gun, and the gun became a part of his body as if it had warmth and nerves.
The joy of killing is a wonderful feeling, which makes Wu Jinsuo feel the power filled in his body and spiritual pleasure.
Yang Tianfeng's order to expand and strengthen guerrilla infiltration was implemented very resolutely. Two main battalions and a group of snipers were drawn out of the army and enriched into the guerrillas. And they were not drawn in groups of two, but a group of six.
The sniper is one master and one deputy, and the deputy can also be called an observer; the fire cover group is two machine gun shooters equipped with a Czech-made and a grenade launcher equipped with a launcher and ammunition player. In this way, six people form a combat team, and the cover group is fifty or sixty meters behind the sniper side and is responsible for providing protection for the sniper when an unexpected situation occurs.
Judging from such personnel, it is obvious that the New Seventh Army or Yang Tianfeng attaches great importance to snipers. Of course, these snipers are elites, and they have spent a lot of ammunition and Yang Tianfeng's hard work to cultivate them.
Being concealed is a irritating waiting, which is also one of the compulsory courses for snipers. Only by being able to endure loneliness and still have a stable mentality can you shoot an accurate and fatal shot.
It is quiet around, and occasionally dead leaves are swirling down from above. The chill of early winter makes all the scenery feel lonely and solemn.
Speaking of which, this sniper ambush is also suspected of waiting for the rabbit. Who knows if the Japanese have transport vehicles passing by every day. Even if there are cars passing by, who knows when it is? But Wu Jinsuo didn't care. If you don't have it today, you will come back tomorrow. As for patience, you already have it.
Two hours passed, and just when the cover team behind was overwhelmed, the observation post came with a signal of disguising the birds. The Japanese convoy came, with a total of twelve vehicles. After getting the signal, the captains of the ambush circle immediately urged their subordinates to cheer up, raise their guns, and prepare for a big battle.
When waiting for the enemy, time passes very slowly; before the war, time passes quickly, making people feel that they are not ready yet. Seven or eight minutes later, they first heard the sound of motors in the distance, and then they saw the Japanese cars turning one by one and slowly entering the ambush circle.
As the cars get closer and closer, they can see clearly. Each car has a plaster flag and machine guns are mounted on the car. The Japanese escorts are looking around with vigilance as if they are facing a great enemy.
In ordinary people, the sniper convoy will knock the first one first, but an experienced sniper will start from the last one. The vehicle in front is attacked, and it will take at least more than 40 seconds to search for the sniper and turn the muzzle. This time is enough for the sniper to shoot bullets in the magazine.
The target had completely entered the ambush circle, with twelve cars, six machine guns, and at least more than 30 Japanese escorts. It seems that the Japanese were also very alert to the attacks of the guerrillas and were very cautious.
Wu Jinsuo fired the gun first, and the sound of the guns equipped with a silencer seemed slight and weird. A car immediately twisted. He immediately pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet and loaded it, aimed at the second one and shot it again. The truck immediately crashed into the side of the road.
The convoy became chaotic, and several other snipers fired their own bullets. The Japanese reacted and were attacked. The brakes kept ringing, and the machine gunners in the car were also looking around and looking at them, pointing their guns in a mess.
"Bang!" Wu Jinsuo shot another shot, and the blood of the Japanese machine gunner splattered on the rear window, and the body fell into the carriage dejectedly.
The Japanese convoy was attacked suddenly. Under the attack of snipers, six or seven cars stopped urgently or turned to the side and crashed into the side, causing chaos.
The machine gun and grenade launcher began to roar. The Japanese had already discovered the sneak attack and had already launched a fire to fight. The ambush troops no longer had to remain silent.
The dense bullets immediately knocked the driver and co-pilot of the front vehicle into sieves, and the grenades blew up several cars into fire balls.
